The first certificate you receive is a Provisional Certificate
and is valid for approximately 6 years (the actual length of time depends
on the time of year the certificate is issued).
Approximately 2-3 weeks after the Certification Officer recommends
an individual for certification he/she will be sent a bill from the Michigan
Department of Education (MDE). The
bill is for $125 and is paid to the MDE. Within about 2-3 weeks after receiving
the payment, the MDE will mail the certificate to you.
The
student will receive a 90 Day Letter of Eligibility in the mail from
the Certification Officer at the time he/she is recommended to the MDE
for certification. This
letter is to be used as an official certificate (valid for 90 days) until
he/she receives the actual certificate. The student is not allowed
to have a second 90 Day Eligibility Letter if the first one has expired
and he/she has not received the certificate. Promptly paying the bill
from the MDE will assure plenty of time for the certificate to be issued
within the 90 days. Exception: A person being recommended who
has disclosed he/she has any misdemeanors and/or felonies is not eligible
for the 90 Day Letter of Eligibility.
